Yeah i found a nice skyline, just wanna get it checked, thanks for that G0DF4Th3R and gtrKen, i didn't know Speedworks was in Ossie park, conveniently the seller and I both work in ossie park Nah, I've sorta canned that idea, purely cause it was going to take to long, too much hassle, and considering i could get a turbo car with selling mine and using the money that was going to be used on the engine. I change my mind too much!!! Kris

well, i'm north of the river, cypher is south right? any skyline specialists north? My sisters B/f is a mechanic, but i would like another opinion on it cheers kris

cool, thanks, so i guess if i give Cypher industries a call and arrange with the seller, i should be able to get them to do a check, thanks for that Kris

thanks ken, would i be able to get any of those guys to come out and look at the car do you think? cheers

Hi All, I have found skyline i would like to purchase, apparantly RAC are't really good when looking for problems with Imports, can anyone recommend an expert who i could get to look at one for me? Thanks Kris

well, cause me and my sisters boyfriend will be doing it labour will be free, yeah it would be easier to buy a gtst but i can't afford it, plus i wanna do my own thing, about insurance, havn't really found that out yet, but i will tommorow, got an insurance broker i'll go thru

thanks well for the time being, it will be stock, for a couple of months, then the mods will start, i will let you guys know how it goes and take pics of it getting done kris

thanks guys, well yeah i and my sisters boyfriend will be doing it, so labour will be free which is cool, i just want a standard GTST fro now, have always wanted one now i have made the move, i know that its gonna cost me alot but you only live once, plus i'm still young. I am getting the rear Hub Assy so, all i am missing out on is the LSD, i don't mind Thanks Kris

yes well that may be true, but back when i got my GTS i could not afford insurance. Now i can but have loans outstanding, and rather than sell my car (which i have tried and failed) i thought i might convert it, it gives me something to do, and i like my car anyway.

Well, i have finally decided and put a deposit down on an engine conversion kit for my N/A R33, I will be getting the engine from Just Jap, and with 31,000Km's on the clock, i think that i have done pretty well , the only problem is now i have to wait!!!! The half cut is still coming in from Japan and will be in Sydney in a few weeks after that, it needs to be pulled apart and freighted here Anyone in WA ever done a conversion? Also without an LSD will i be missing out on much, and with the rear hubs not being changed (from 4 stud to 5 stud) will this be an issue (my rims are 4/5 stud type rims so that doesn't really cause an issue), should i just by the rear hub assy, and brakes to keep it consistant with the front? Thanks, pretty excited, but won't be excited until i'm behind the wheel of my car with the new engine. Kris

I seen that "Calibra" on a ute, it is a Yellow commonwhore ute

it was up two days ago, doesn't matter now, i am going to buy an "engine conversion kit" for $6000, its so expensive cause its in such good condition, 31000km's on it only anyways, thanks Kris

yeah, thats what i meant, should be getting the whole instrument cluster with it, thanks crooser kris

Thanks crooser, i actually read your post on your conversion good job. I aint really mechanically minded, i won't be doing it by myself. I will be getting the following "To give you an idea of price a general mechanical type RB25det conversion such as complete engine with mounts and crossmember and transmission with mount and crossmember,Turbo dump pipe and engine pipe engine wiring,engine computer,air flow meter,intercooler and intercooler plumbing,radiator fan,tailshaft or yoak.." is this enough?, when you say only the speedo needs changing you mean the whole dials (fuel, tacho, temp, boost, etc..) right? and everything else will be cool? thanks crooser Kris

Hi All, Firstly, i hope i'm in the right part of the forums, if not sorry. I am considering buying an "engine conversion kit" for my skyline after failing to sell it to buy a turbo, and after reconsidering (will cost me a lot less for a conversion) How hard is it to do the conversion, if i got the dash, engine, gearbox, ecu, and whatever else is required. Is it a straight swap or do things need to be modified as my sisters boyfriend whos is a mechanic and i am going to do it. Just want as much info before attempting to do it and finding out i need more parts, etc.. Thanks in advance :uh-huh: Kris

sorry for jumping in on your thread man

Hey man, you got a pic? also, how did you get the light in their, i tried taking the plastic clear thing off and almost snapped the clips? thanks Kris

I'm after either an R33 front cut, don't care what year, prefer the engine to have low km's, or an RB25DET engine with gearbox Can anyone Help? Thanks Kris

yeah, thanks, i'm gpnna take it to the guy who i got it done by, just to see what we can do about it. I flattened my battery once again so now i need a you f*cken battery (the one i got i've had for 2 years, it has been flat like three times now, i think it's time for a new one) anyone recommend one? Brand?

Thanks guys for your replies, i didn't need to take the wheel of, i ended up getting the dash out without having the wheel being in the way. I took out my face dials and tested it just to the battery, nup didn't work, i think it's stuffed, only prob is i need to take the white face dials off the original dials, its stuck on hard

Hi Guys, I am trying to remove my steering in my car so i can take the dash apart without the steering wheel being in the way. I have taken off the front cover and removed the gold nut, but it still feels like it's on rock solid. The reason why i want to remove the dash is cause my white face dials aren't working no more since replacing my headlights with the super white ones, the face dials will work intermitantly, sometimes staying off for ages, other times going on and off. it doesn't affect my headlights or anything, and it is not related to going over bumps etc.. can anyone help? thanks Kris

hope this is the right section; anyone seen this car, i think i will service my car myself now! http://www.boostn247.com/spa200/ Kris

yeah i know, does it come out good when it is painted?

Hi All, Wondering if anyone knows where i can get, or if anyone has a wine red "SKYLINE" strip, the one that sits below the boot? Also after a Right hand Mirror (prefer Wine red) any colour Thanks Kris

yeah it's nice, but i am really after a series 2, always wanted one, and i know if i get a series 1 or 1.5 i wont be happy, kris
